About this listen
Sydney Sweeney has been making headlines nonstop over the past several days, and not all of them have been the glossy red carpet kind. According to The Independent, the most talked-about story is the backlash over her recent American Eagle denim campaign, which went viral for its pun-filled tagline Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans. A large segment of social media users criticized the ad for its wordplay, claiming it uncomfortably echoed language associated with eugenics, while others simply felt it was overly sexualized and pandering to the male gaze. American Eagle issued a statement clarifying that the campaign was intended only to celebrate individuality and denim, but the controversy kept spiraling online.
Enter Halsey, Sweeney’s Americana co-star, who stepped forward on Instagram to call out fans boycotting the film because of the denim ad drama. They argued that director Tony Tost’s work deserved to be seen on its own merits and that the crew’s efforts should not be overshadowed by social media noise. At the same time, Halsey acknowledged that words carry weight in today’s climate, while still labeling the ad backlash as insignificant compared to the artistry of filmmaking, according to Parade.
This saga had unexpected political fallout as well. Public voting records surfaced revealing that Sweeney is registered as a Republican in Florida, a detail that quickly made its way into the discourse. President Donald Trump even weighed in, publicly praising her American Eagle spot as the hottest ad out there, and drawing a sharp contrast with Taylor Swift, whom he targeted for so-called woke advertising. Sweeney herself has neither endorsed nor commented on any political figure and has kept her statements focused on her work and personal life.
Speaking of personal life, Sweeney broke her social media silence with an Instagram carousel from Key West’s iconic Sloppy Joe’s bar, appearing relaxed and smiling with friends despite the firestorm. The post, captioned Duval diaries, signaled she wasn’t letting online critique get to her, though comments ranged from snarky referencing her recent box office numbers to full-throated support from her loyal fan base. AOL noted the dive bar is near the luxury retreat Sweeney bought last year, showcasing how she’s balancing stardom with some well-earned downtime.
On the business front, Sweeney’s latest film Americana opened modestly at the box office—earning just $500,000 and debuting outside the top 10 in the U.S., as reported by The Hollywood Reporter and MovieWeb. Paired with the tepid response to her previous project, Eden, it marks a challenging run as Sweeney navigates both critical scrutiny and social media storms. Yet, insiders and fans alike remain convinced that her talent and high profile will keep her a major player in Hollywood, as reported by MovieWeb.
